Metaphor: ReFantazio – 2024's Top RPG Arrives on Xbox Game Pass This May

Xbox Game Pass continues to raise the bar for subscribers with the upcoming addition of Metaphor: ReFantazio, the 2024 RPG hit developed by Atlus. Launching on the service May 29, this bold fantasy game is being hailed as one of the most exciting additions to Game Pass this year, giving players access to a critically praised title just months after its initial release.

Atlus, best known for its Persona franchise, broke new ground with Metaphor: ReFantazio, blending deep narrative design, tactical combat, and a darkly imaginative world. With the announcement now confirmed, excitement is building fast across Xbox communities.

“Metaphor: ReFantazio is a game we’re incredibly proud of. Bringing it to Game Pass allows even more players to experience our newest fantasy universe,”

Katsura Hashino, Game Director at Atlus, said during a recent interview with Xbox Wire.

What Makes Metaphor: ReFantazio a Must-Play?

Set in a politically volatile kingdom, Metaphor: ReFantazio challenges players to crack ancient mysteries while navigating leadership trials in a fractured society. It combines turn-based strategy with real-time exploration, archetype-based progression, and a layered moral choice system.

The game was originally released in October 2024, earning high praise for its bold departure from the Persona formula while retaining Atlus’ signature storytelling and aesthetic. The Game Pass version includes all post-launch updates and content, ensuring new players get the complete experience.

“I can’t believe this is coming to Game Pass so soon after release. Feels like a steal.”
